How to reduce the shimmer from a UV image Blender Game Engine

Hi guys,

Been away from Blender for a long time and it’s like its all new to me :(.

I have 2 quick questions, if somebody wouldn’t mind helping me with? Using the Blender Game setting, I have worked out how to apply a UV image to a model. My problem is, I don’t know how to change the material/ texture settings to reduce the shine that lighting gives my texture? I basically want to give it a matte effect.

My second question is, how do I apply a colour to a model, that isnt a UV image? I want to apply a cream colour to the whole object, but I cannot find the setting at all?

Thank you :slight_smile:
